1 National climate policy framework / strategy 20%2 Target for electricity production or capacity addition from renewable energy resources (excluding
large hydro)10%
3 Long-term transition strategy for the electricity system 10%4 Support scheme for renewables or disincentives for carbon intensive electricity production 60%
Barrier 5 Fossil fuel subsidies that impact electricity production -10%

Use different, complementary approaches to assess climate action• Macro-economic indicators – straight forward,
commonly used• Effort sharing calculations – addresses fairness
and “who should pay” for mitigation • Sectoral decarbonisation indicators – zooming in
on what is happening and is realistic on the sectoral level
• A good practice policy package – focus on concrete government action / inaction

Harmonised country assessments: Provide national, fast-response, harmonised assessments from a high-level perspective for a large number of countries: around 30 countries covering around 80% of global emissions• Emissions implications of INDCs
• Emission implications of implemented climate-change policies
• Comparison to effort-sharing calculations
• Comparison to emission reduction potential
• Tracking decarbonisation
Temperature increase: aggregation of national pathways to global level and estimating the resulting temperature increase

Industry and buildings
Energy efficiency (EE) in the industry: room for wider policy coverage
EE in buildings: relatively well covered
Low coverage for non-CO2 emissions reductions
Fossil fuel subsidies still prevalent
